Bulletin 639519 • Revision D May 2009 18-1
Section 18
Interoperability with Non-Andrew Devices
18.1 ATC200-LITE-USB
• ATC200-LITE-USB is not designed to work with actuators, etc. of other manufacturers. Functional-
ity would need to be verifi ed through interoperability testing.
• ATC200-LITE-USB equipment can generally be used with software from other manufacturers.
(For example, use Cobra software and ATC200-LITE-USB on serial cable to control legacy EMS
products.)
18.2 ATC300-1000
• ATC300-1000 does not display height, location, technology, and antenna type for non-Andrew
actuators, because these parameters are Andrew specifi c. TMAs also do not have these param-
eters.
18.3 Kathrein
• ATC200-LITE-USB can change tilt of Kathrein actuators if they have previously been confi gured.
ATC200-LITE-USB cannot confi gure Kathrein actuators.
• Both ATC200-1000 and ATC300-1000 can be used with a special confi guration fi le to confi gure
Kathrein actuators. Contact Andrew Customer Support.
18.4 Using ATC200-1000 to Control Powerwave Antennas
• The antenna defi nition fi le is RET_LA_AT_xxx.ascu. ‘xxx’ is the version number.
• Available from Andrew Technical Support.
To get the antenna defi nition fi le, call Andrew Technical Support (1-800-255-1479, Option 1).
• System build for ATC200-1000 has to be 454A5 or later (found by going to controller menu bar
Help→About).
• When confi guring a Powerwave antenna, highlight the antenna on the home page.
Click on Edit Selected.
Choose antenna model.
Click on Calibrate. (Calibration has to be done frequently, for example, when you change
the sector ID for the antenna.)
